Welcome to the What’s Next! Podcast. I’ve met so many brilliant people as I traveled the globe and have had some fascinating conversations that I’ve wished had been recorded so I could share them with you - this podcast was a way for me to recreate those moments and let you in on some fantastic insights. My current conversations center around one objective: what's next for companies and individuals as they look to innovate and grow. I hope these conversations inspire you as much as they have ...

In this episode we've got a bit of a theme going on, centered around an amazing organization that's had an enormous impact on so many lives, including mine, and that's the Seattle Children’s Hospital. Later in the show we're going to talk about a benefit show that my wife and I created called SMooCH, which stands for Seattle Musicians for Children's Hospital, and to help tell that story I've brought in my good friend and return guest to The Nordy Pod, CEO of SubPop, Megan Jasper. But before that, I want to introduce you to another good friend of mine, an incredibly accomplished and remarkably compassionate individual, CEO of the Seattle Children's Hospital, Dr. Jeff Sperring. Now, I've wanted to have Dr. Sperring on the show for quite a while now, and not just because he's a fantastic CEO, but because Seattle Children's Hospital has had a particularly significant impact on my life. But comparable to my respect for the hospital itself is my esteem for the man who strives to maintain its reputation as one of the best children's hospitals in the country. For Dr. Sperring, becoming a physician was a dream that he chased down since the fifth grade. Raised in a family that displayed and encouraged service, he developed a strong desire to do good in the world. To pay for medical school, Dr. Sperring joined the Navy and, after training, served as one of only three pediatricians caring for roughly 4,000 Navy and Marine children on an army base in California. He then transitioned to Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis, where his superiors recognized his aptitude for leadership and recruited him into hospital administration, first as their Chief Medical Officer and then as their CEO. Dr. Sperring began zeroing in on potential dream jobs and took a swing at an open position as the CEO at Seattle Children's Hospital. It’s apparent that Dr. Sperring deserves each new opportunity he's been given as he talks about the incredible sense of purpose that accompanies his job. I'm super grateful to have had the chance to get to know him, and I'm certainly glad people like him exist in this world. Thanks for tuning in to episode 29. We hope you enjoy it! Did you know that YOU can be on The Nordy Pod? This show isn't just a one-way conversation. We want to hear about what Nordstrom looks like through your eyes.
